Dear Free Software Supporter,
The Free Software Foundation's (FSF) Licensing and Compliance Lab is
proud to announce that registration is now open for the continuing
legal education (CLE) seminar on GPL Enforcement and Legal Ethics,
which will be held on Wednesday, October 16, 2019, at the Raleigh
Convention Center in North Carolina.
The CLE seminar is a regular program from the FSF, where a select
group of experts and experienced instructors in the free software
community provide a comprehensive overview of current affairs in GPL
enforcement and copyleft. We invite legal professionals, law students,
free software developers, and anyone interested in licensing and
compliance topics to join. While registration is open to the public,
this seminar is a special opportunity for legal professionals and law
students who can potentially earn continuing legal education (CLE)
credits for participating (approval pending). The program will be
available shortly on the event page.
Sign up now for early registration prices. Regular rates
start on September 16th. FSF associate members, as always, get
discounted entry. Registration for this event closes on Friday October
4th, 2019.
Attendees of the full day seminar will learn about copyleft and other
important concepts in the GNU family of licenses, best practices in
the free software licensing enforcement process, ethical
considerations important to any lawyer working with clients involved
in free software, and other current topics in free software licensing.
We are also opening up the event for potential sponsorships, offering
a unique opportunity to align with the FSF and the professional ethics
considerations in free software. Sponsors will receive complimentary
passes to this event, as well as additional benefits. For more
information, you can contact [email protected].
The sessions will be led by experts and respected leaders in the free
software community, including:
FSF executive director John Sullivan will also be giving introductory
and closing remarks.
A detailed agenda, as well as curriculum materials, will soon be
posted on the event page. If you have any questions, or if you
would like to sponsor this event, please contact [email protected].
We hope to welcome you at the event.

Sincerely,
Donald Robertson, III
Licensing & Compliance Manager
